Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Ranch

Chef and recipe developer Jake Cohen loves cauliflower (a man after our own heart). He also owns the fact that he’s a big ranch devotee. So naturally, he combined the two to create a miraculous side dish: roasted cauliflower with tahini ranch.

“I zhuzhed up ranch with Greek yogurt, fresh herbs and tahini for a decadently rich sauce to smother golden brown florets of roasted cauliflower,” Cohen said while talking us through the recipe. “My favorite part is the little kick you get from the Aleppo pepper, a Syrian variety that adds the perfect amount of heat, only to be cooled off by the ranch.”

We’re guessing you’ll lick the ranch bowl clean. But if you do have any extra, drizzle it on roasted potatoes the next day.
